A horror story to make you laugh your head off, for 8-12 year-olds. Ben finds a book buried in his garden. It turns out to be a horror story. What he doesn't know at first is: he's IN it! And so is his sister, and his best friend. As the three of them read the book, their cozy, familiar surroundings become a nightmare of monsters, vampires, zombies and creepy-crawlies. Their neighbours turn into hideous creatures, their homes change into tombs and laboratories. With an army of the undead closing in on them, Ben alone holds the secret to saving himself, his family, and the rest of the world. Warning! This book has made people POO with fright! (Well, maybe once. But we're not sure. So basically no, it hasn't)
